RWBY Puppy!
by Whiteeyes is an AU RWBY fanfic revolving around the premise of Ruby's mother being a faunus, and the impact that has on Ruby and Yang as they grow older is considerable, to say the least.
The story hasn't been updated since 2016 and is now considered a Dead Fic.
This fanfic contains examples of:
- Animal Jingoism: For all her claims of being above classism, Blake is internally proud of being a graceful cat while pitying Ruby for being related to "those dumb toilet-drinkers".
- Badass Adorable: Ruby. Yang also appreciates how easy it is to tell her moods based on her ears.
- Big Sister Instinct: Yang has her moments of frustration regarding Ruby, but she outright beat the crap out of other kids for being full-blown racists.
- Fantastic Racism: Being a child of a faunus, and looking like one herself, Ruby has experienced a lot of racism from the world she lives in. Weiss is horrified by the details as she learns them.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Blake cannot help but feel a mite ashamed and envious since she cannot bring herself to out her Faunus status, while Ruby owned up to hers in front of Weiss.
- Half-Breed Discrimination: Ruby is terrified of others learning this, especially the White Fang, as she fears that given White Fang's hatred of humans they would try to kill her and her family.
- Dehumanizing Insult: Faunus rountinely suffer these.
- Kids Are Cruel: Something both Ruby and Yang had, and still have to deal with.
- Little Bit Beastly: Not only Ruby has dog ears, she's unable to eat specific foods without a bad reaction - one example is chocolate, which is actually poisonous for canines.
- Oh, Crap!: Weiss' reaction to Ruby's childhood.
- Police Are Useless: Something Weiss was horrified to learn in regards to Ruby's own past, along with why the police were unwilling to help prevent that sort of thing.
- Rape as Drama: Downplayed on the "rape" part. It's all but stated that some of the bullying that Ruby had to put up with was sexual harassment. Even knowing Ruby is far from helpless, Weiss felt like she needed to throw up after hearing this.
- You Are What You Hate: The White Fang have become this for many Faunus.
